Nginx specifies https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_path: /data/nginx/cache but that doesn't see like a normal place to store anything on ubuntu. Another place suggest /tmp/nginx.
What's an appropriate ubuntu-convention for my cache?
I get the following (truncated) output from --status-all

But I can't access it through service:

What have I done wrong?
This works on OSX:
RANDOM := $(shell /bin/bash -c "echo $$RANDOM")
test:
echo $(RANDOM)
For cross platform random numbers I've instead resorted to this:
RANDOM := $(shell od -An -N2 -i /dev/random | tr -d ' ')
How can I get the first example to work?
As part of the installation step of some software on a Ubuntu VM I'd like to create a samba share. How would I go about doing that from the command line?
I'm using virtualenv with django and so I have say two different directories say:
~/Development/site1
~/Development/site2
So to set up my enviroment I normally go to ~/Development/site1 then run source bin/activate. Is it possible to have that command run automatically when I cd into one of these directories?
So a while a go I discovered that the reason why everyone else was able to connect to the wireless except for me (whilst being able to see other networks) was that the wireless I used to be able to connect to is on channel 13 and my computer only sees up to 11 these days. How would I go about having it listen to 12 and 13 again?
Up until about a week ago I could connect to my wireless, but now I suddenly can't. Every other wireless in the area show up in the network manager. My kindle can connect to it, my friend can connect to it (in windows) without having connected to it before. My other netbook (Samsung NC10) can connect to it, but my other Samsung N150 now cannot even see it.
I'm at a loss, how would I go about debugging and unborking my computer?
When I run sudo the terminal is stuck for a few seconds and then outputs an error message. My terminal looks like this:
ubuntu@(none):~$ sudo true
sudo: unable to resolve host (none)
What can I do to solve it?
Is it possible to get Ubuntu to continuously resize a window and it's content? Looking in the CompizConfig Settings Manager under re-size window it has the options: Normal, Outline, Rectangle, Stretch neither of which do this.
I have two W2252TQ Flatron screens, both were working in windows 7 prior to installing Ubuntu 10.04. The active monitor is connected via DVI with the VGA one dark. If I disconnect the DVI one then the VGA monitor becomes the active one. I would like both of them to work.
Additionally if I check the monitors settings it says "Monitory: unknown" with the refresh rate at 50hz. However the monitor seem to be working fine at the right resolution.
I have activated the additional drivers for my NVIDIA graphics card although it says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system."
What can I do to make Ubuntu handle the second monitor?

Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators
Starting unity-window-decorator
Setting Update "run_command_terminal_key"
The program 'unity-window-decorator' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 400 error_code 2 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
It it possible to solve this issue on a VPS?
Sometimes when I move the mouse to the unity launcher the system freezes (sometimes I can move the mouse). I can't even CTRL+ALT+F1. How would I go about figuring out what the cause is and recover from it?
As a workaround I've disabled Unity hiding as per the description here: How can I configure Unity's launcher auto-hide behavior?
On my server rm always asks me for permission (even though I'm root) when I run it, on my desktop it does not. Like so:
$ rm mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
rm: remove regular file `mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz'?
How do I make it stop prompting me?

Where is the cron / crontab log?
While trying to Google this a lot of sources claims there's a cron log in /var/log but I have none. I'm fairly convinced cron has run and I know it is running because of:
service cron status
cron start/running, process 19574
Is there some setting I need to set?
I have a really weird issue where I'm getting an extra - insertion on tar:
# tar -zxvf mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
/bin/tar: unrecognized option '--zxvf'
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
The same issue happens if I try to do --help
# tar --help
/bin/tar: unrecognized option `---help'
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
But if I drop the first - both of the above examples work. Any ideas on how I can find and disable whatever is causing that?
On my desktop typing python- and pressing Tab offers suggestions of installable packages that are prefixed python. My server doesn't have this ability, how can I fix that?
I often find myself wanting to install something, but I'm unsure of what package it's in. This is a very common occurrence for me:
$ make html
sphinx-build -b djangohtml -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
make: sphinx-build: Command not found
make: *** [html] Error 127
$ sudo apt-get install sphinx

Is there a better way?
Is there a way to set the gnome-terminal title from within the terminal itself without having to right click on the tab. Something like:
active-terminal --title "Foo"
There was a related question previously with an answer that almost lets you do this: How to change Gnome-Terminal title? but that doesn't set the gnome-terminal tab title only the window title.
Is the terminals output (i.e. not commands) history hiding somewhere that lets me do something like..
grep "foo foo \d{5}" ~/.terminal
I'm aware I can simply pipe stuff to grep, or save it to a file rather than putting it in the terminal. It's just that sometimes I've had a program output some stuff I'd like to search through but would rather not rerun it just for greps benefit. :)
I'm getting maybe 20 friend requests from Yahoo IM everytime I start empathy (or my Internet goes up). Is there any way I can deal with the contact spam that doesn't involve me individually clicking on all the contact requests and dismissing them one by one?
